Challenge no.25 - Recycling at SCRAP AFRICA

Sjoe it's been a hectic few days in the Sharp household!! What with getting Caide all packed up and ready to go back to boarding school, getting Jamie ready for Grade 1 and Bryce ready for his last year of Primary School, I must confess to being rather knackered! Roll on weekend!!

So....just a quick post to share the latest SCRAP AFRICA challenge with you. It's a fabulous challenge, one I know you will all have fun with......RECYCLE!!

You need to use at least one recycled item on your project. Create a card, layout or altered piece, that has a recycled item and please tell us what that item is.

Here is the layout I created for this challenge. I used a clothing tag for my recycled item!

Billie-Jean (one of our lovely DT member's) has put together a lovely prize for this challenge:

Please take the time to stop by the SCRAP AFRICA blog before you get going on this challenge. Our team members have really outdone themselves with their projects for this challenge!! You have until the 31st of January to play along, can't wait to see what you create :)

Challenge no.18 - Stencils, Paint and Paste

So I was a bad girl and didn't get my SCRAP AFRICA DT page loaded to our team blog before the cut-off time!! I had created a page for the challenge, but just hadn't gotten around to taking photos yet, so here is my take on the challenge, late, but I am still going to blog about it!! I had SO much fun with this challenge, and am delighted with the way the page turned out. I cut a target shape with my Silhouette Cameo, sprayed some temporary adhesive to the back and then sprayed my cardstock with some Mr Huey's Color Mist. I absolutely ADORE this effect, and will be using this technique again soon!! 

   

 

 

I also totally adore these photos of Jamie and his little friend Nikki, she has such spunk that child, and constantly has me in stitches. The 2 get on so well.

So I hope you will find the time to play along with us, it is a great challenge!!!

Look at the prizes up for offer!!
